In this article the problem of obtaining the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters from a special type of linear combination of discrete probability functions is discussed. It is shown that ...

The rapid accumulation of genome sequence data has made phylogenetics an indispensable tool to various branches of biology. However, it has also posed considerable statistical and computational ...

The likelihood equation for a logistic regression model does not always have a finite solution. Sometimes there is a nonunique maximum on the boundary of the parameter space, at infinity. The ...

The three-factor analysis displayed in Output 26.3.3 generates this message: WARNING: Too many factors for a unique solution. The number of parameters in the model exceeds the number of elements in ...

Objective probability estimates the odds of an event occurring through data analysis. It uses concrete measures instead of guesses to provide a reliable forecast.

This paper studies the determinants of personal income, including the returns to education. In the process it estimates how incomes are affected by characteristics such as gender, caste, language, etc ...
